Activision Defends Against CVG Article

Postby Raymond T. » Thu Mar 15, 2007 10:12 am

As <A href="/news/view.php?id=9739">reported earlier</A>, <A href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/" target="CVG">CVG</A> had an early look at the computer game based on the upcoming <a href="http://webmaster.transformersmovie.com/click.html?c=FLINCG" target="_blank">Transformers Movie</a>. Their report was not completely positive. In response to that, <A href="http://www.activision.com/" target="activision">Activision</A> took the time to <A href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=160075&skip=yes" target="CVG">defend themselves</A> and the game to CVG, showing that they fully stand behind the project they are still develloping.

"<i>We're really disappointed you guys didn't get an accurate impression of what Transformers: The Game is all about and the direction in which we're headed. A work in progress system was shown that we finished putting together in the early hours of that morning specifically for a first-look presentation</i>".

"<i>The game is still in development and we're on course to deliver the game Transformers fans are hoping for. The new few weeks will see the game systems integrated and balanced, and we're really looking forward to bringing it out to show you guys once this process is complete!</i>".

I think the game can be pretty good. They where the ones to make actual good comic book games like spider-man and hulk ultimate destruction. I think if anyone can pull this off, it is activsion.

I think this game has alot of potential, and if Activision took the time to fight back this early to negative feedback, I think it's because they know they have a winner on their hands, and don't want fans to denounce it this earlier and make everyone think the game sucks without ever actually playing it.

Besides, I don't trust online videogame reviewers anymore - it seems to me the big guns like IGN, CVG and Gamespot don't understand that videogames are, and always have been, meant to be fun, not ultra-complicated reality-simulators... just plain and simple fun!

And for me, fun is controling a bad-ass robot that can turn into a sleek, fast police car on a whim, drive around huge environments and destroy the sh*t out of everything.

If that's not fun, I don't know what is...

I thought the game looked awesome from what I saw at Toy Fair last month. I was also disappointed in how harsh CVG was when they reviewed the game knowing that it was an unfinished development demonstration. Good for Activision.

Or transforming into a jet and strafing yellow cadillac's. :D That's fun as well. Personally, I don't pay the blindest bit of attention to game reviewers. If I do, I read the fan reactions as they are more like minded as me and our views should be closer. But considering it's a WIP with a good few months of development to go yet, I'm not surprised CVG thought it was rubbish. Regardless of what reviewers say, this is the only game I'm interested in and the only one I'm going to buy.
